uh, classes already?

so today was, well, day #1 of class. aside from the snooty professor who was obnoxious when I e-mailed her a very simple I-stay-on-top-of-my-work-where-can-I-find-this-password-to-access-the-readings-on-the-website-that-are-due-next-week all went well. like, sorry I didn't know the password when you didn't write it anywhere. le dur. this kind of shit always happens to me BECAUSE I'm on top of my work and try to do it in advance. and why should I apologize? if she wanted these readings to be done she should have included a password or just made me buy a damn book! I really hate people who are moronic. and she's a professor too. my professor. ugh. people should really think ahead more frequently.

aside from that lady & navigating the very confusing hunter building -- not plural -- today, it was overall a very good day. classes seem interesting and exciting and, I really have to say, I cannot wait for my anthropology class. and my psych class. even though anthro is with snooty lady from paragraph #1.

snooty made a good point in class today when she was lecturing about language and how it affects sexism and genders in culture. she said that english is one of few languages that doesn't gender-ize common nouns. very true. have noticed that before. but I hadn't thought about how it affected the way people were perceived in cultures. it's very empowering to give common nouns a gender because it makes both sexes equal, or at least it gives us insight into the different roles that objects play in a person's life because of the division. for example (one of hers) la mesa -- spanish for "the table," female. maybe it has to do with the association of women around a table because, well, when women get together we sit around a table, eat and chat. there we go.

dinner with mom at land, yummy yum yum. night ended with jersey shore on floor 2 (my floor, FINALLY something on my floor) which was pretty exciting and had a lot of people shouting at a screen.

for some new music check out all tiny creatures v. bon iver, very mellow and moody. yum. thanks for that, pma.

adios orientation.

so today was very much the last day of orientation. hm. meh. anyway college is definitely all it's cracked up to be. I would highly recommend it.

speaking of how clutch college is, I have to say that I'm really not missing a lot of the old parts of my life. I'm definitely feeling these people and maybe that's just because it's (officially) day #4 of college -- classes start today, talk about ultimate craziness -- and I'm loving it. I've always loved making friends and meeting new people and this is SO not an exception. I love it here. I don't miss a lot of people just because I've been thrown into this mosh pit of awesome people and great organized activities.

the best part is that I know the worst of the worst is over! classes start tomorrow, I have friends in my classes so there are people to commute with and (as totally dorky as this sounds, please I'm a huge nerd) I'm excited for classes! I'm really pumped to be taking the classes that I'm taking this semester, they're very cool and very me.

so as sad as I am that I don't have frat parties and random hookups, I'm definitely doing fine. this is very much a good place. they're also very into reevaluation and I'm so down with that. finding a major and a "passion" is going to be hell, but I can do it, right? right.

new tunes: check out cee lo green's fuck you. definitely mayer-hawthorne-70's-pop-infused-supah-catchy-style. very, very word.

a fresh year, a fresh perspective

eyyo boys and girls -- I'm back! have you missed me? I definitely took the summer off to chill out a little bit, have fun with the boy, spend time with people that I totally didn't see enough of during the year, hit up some pool parties in brooklyn, have some friends over to visit, eat way too much delicious food and prepare my lazy, unprepared ass for college. please, I hadn't (and haven't, actually) done any work -- read: school work. I definitely worked enough at the store this summer, kill me -- since what, march? maybe.

anyway, it's time for college and I'm hitting that shit up. move in was on sunday, and we've been ridin' the orientation train non-stop since then. pretty much all that needs to be said is that I'm on a VERY dry campus (at least that's what they make it out to be. I give it 3 weeks, tops.), the people are pretty word and are definitely friendly and chill, and it seems like it's gonna be hard to graduate in 4 years (psh, please). but whatever, definitely no complaints, yet. you all know how much I can bitch and whine when I need to.

I'll write more in a bit. the upperclassmen just moved in today (naturally I'm on the floor with like 4 other freshman, none of whom I knew until today so I've been quite lonely) and I'm a little frightened to get off my bed and venture into the hallways. I didn't expect myself to be so scared of them -- I just don't want attitude. upon expressing concern today that the upperclassmen being on my hall kind of intimidates me, someone responded that I "didn't seem like the type to be intimidated by anything." now that's a fuckin' compliment if I've ever gotten one. I'm impressed with my own ability to make people think I'm fearless. definitely one step in the right direction.

and for some groovy tunes, new beach house is up on pma.
